Subject: Issue when using the fsmonitor-watchman hook?
Date: Sun, 10 Apr 2022 23:51:28 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3ce82619-6305-69b6-b4e5-bbbc91c17530@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all,
I recently installed v2.36.0-rc1 and started getting the warning about
the deprecation of core.useBuiltinFSMonitor configuration. It appeared
for each 'git' invocation which was a bit annoying. Fortunately, I had
some spare time so I went the route of actually applying the suggested
alternative rather than suppressing the warning.
According to the git-hooks documentation, I configured core.fsmonitor
to '.git/hooks/fsmonitor-watchman' and after that for some reason all
the styles in the terminal seems to have gone awry (I use Windows
Terminal with PowerShell 7). A sample demonstration.
This is how the terminal should've looked (it appears with appropriate
colours):
04-10 23:36:38 D:\Source\kaartic\git [(f2817c1...) +2 ~0 -0 !]
>
After setting the config the following is how it got rendered (without
colours):
←[95m04-10 23:36:20 ←[0mD:\Source\kaartic\the-wallet
←[93m[←[0m←[96mmaster←[0m←[96m ≡←[0m←[31m←[49m +1←[0m←[31m←[49m
~0←[0m←[31m←[49m -0←[0m←[31m !←[0m←[93m]←[0m
> cd ..\git\
I should note that I use posh-git [2] plug-in for the colourized
Git metadata info in the terminal.
Also, I got the following error messages when running 'git status'
> git status
open2: exec of watchman -j --no-pretty failed: No such file or directory
at .git/hooks/fsmonitor-watchman line 78.
Unsupported query-fsmonitor hook version '1'.
Falling back to scanning...
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
...
It's clear that I'm doing something wrong. I'm not sure what, though.
The fact that I have no clear idea about what the fsmonitor-watchman
hook does, does not help at all. It would be great if someone could
help me understand what I got wrong :)
